Somfy Protect WARRANTY

Somfy Protect (the "Vendor") warrants that all the Vendor’s hardware (the “Hardware”) is covered against non-compliance under the terms set out in Articles L. 211-4 ff of the Consumer Code and against hidden defects under the terms set out in Articles 1641 ff of the Civil Code, for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase (the “Warranty Term”).

You will be covered by the Warranty regardless of any commercial warranty you may have been granted by the Vendor.

Pursuant to Articles L. 211-4 ff of the Consumer Code, in the event of non-compliance, you have the choice between repair or replacement of the Hardware in question. However, if choosing one of these options incurs a cost patently disproportionate to the other, given the value of the Hardware or the extent of the defect, the Vendor shall then proceed with the option you have not chosen. The non-compliance must be reported before the end of the Warranty Term. For a period of six (6) months following issue of the Hardware, you are not required to produce evidence of the non-compliance.

If you decide to make a claim under the warranty on hidden defects provided by Articles 1641 ff of the Civil Code, you may choose between cancellation of the sale or a reduction in the sale price, pursuant to the provisions of Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

Products or any consumables sourced from a third party (e.g. batteries) packaged or delivered with the Hardware are not covered by this Warranty but will be covered by that manufacturer’s warranty, where applicable.

You must provide Seller with an invoice addressed to you or other valid proof of purchase for your Product in order to be covered under this Warranty, and it is your responsibility to retain such proof. Except where prohibited by applicable law, the Warranty is nontransferable and is limited to the original purchaser. The Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary under local laws.

In order to receive Warranty service, you must submit a claim to Seller by contacting Seller’s warranty hotline at www.getmyfox.com/support/. If Seller determines that you and the Hardware are covered by this Warranty, you will be provided an RMA authorization number and further instructions you must follow to obtain Warranty service or replacement Hardware. If you receive replacement Hardware, it will be covered by the terms of this Limited Warranty for the longer of ninety (90) days from the date of delivery or the remaining Warranty Period.

This Warranty does not apply to any Hardware that has been misused, abused, disassembled, or altered, as determined in Seller’s sole discretion upon Seller's inspection of the Hardware. In addition, this Warranty shall not cover: (a) any Hardware whose serial or batch number has been damaged, amended or erased, (b) damage caused by breach of the installation or maintenance instructions provided by Seller, (c) failures linked to the power supply, (d) consumable parts, e.g. batteries, or (e) Hardware with a microprocessor showing signs of impact, overvoltage, or even slight overheating. If Seller determines in its sole discretion that any defect in material or workmanship has occurred during the applicable Warranty Period in any of the Hardware, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be repair or replacement of the defective Hardware at Seller’s option.

Seller reserves the right to clarify, amend, restate or otherwise modify the terms of the Warranty in its sole discretion. Prior to submitting a Warranty claim, Seller recommends you visit the support section at www.getmyfox.com for technical support.
